Common App Assistance

May 9, 2026 by Kim

**Scroll Down to Submit Form**

The Common App includes questions that are supposed to be answered by the guidance counselor. Questions about our ranking policies and grading procedures. Answers that you might not be able to clarify on your own.

So, you can list me as your school counselor instead. Kim Andrysczyk: [email protected]

However, there’s also some questions that are more personal, that I cannot answer. So, we need you to provide answers for those sections. SCROLL DOWN to fill out the form below.

  • Please provide any information about the applicant’s homeschool experience and environment that you believe would be helpful to the reader (e.g. educational philosophy, motivation for homeschooling, instruction setting, etc.).
  • If the student has taken courses from a distance learning program, traditional secondary school, or college, please list:
    • the course title
    • content
    • sponsoring institution
    • instruction setting
    • schedule
    • frequency of interactions with instructors and other students (once per day, week, etc.)

    Also include any standardized tests the student has taken that are not listed on the Common App.

  • OPTIONAL Counselor Recommendation: Please provide comments that will help us differentiate this student from others. We especially welcome a broad-based assessment and encourage you to consider describing or addressing: · The applicant’s academic, extracurricular, and personal characteristics. · Relevant context for the applicant’s performance and involvement, such as particularities of family situation or after-school obligations, either positive or negative. · Observed problematic behaviors, perhaps separable from academic performance, that an admission committee should explore further.
  • OPTIONAL Fee Waiver Verification: Please provide documentation proof for us to verify your eligibility. Common App Fee Waiver FAQs

In order to assist with this additional service, we request a small fee for the time to assist.
